Artstyles for Middle East and Greco Roman

The Middle East and Greco Roman city artstyles do not display for major civilizations. City States such as Cape Town or Genoa have the correct artstyles, but Major civs like Rome or Arabia display the European city art instead. The code in CivVCivilizations.xml has the correct name for those artstyles in it, for example Rome says it uses Greco_Roman in the code in that file, but in the actual game it does not.

Asian and American city artstyles work fine.

This is both in this newest patch and in the previous version, and both me and my roommate have this same problem.

It doesn't work for me, at least with Babylon it doesn't. I'm actually downloading Korea and WotAW now so I'll get back to you on that. And I agree with you, i find it annoying that Arabian cities look like English ones.

Okay. It's good to know that others are having this problem so it's not just my computer being stupid. I was really hoping the newest patch would fix this.

Do you have polynesia? I will be somewhat annoyed if I download polynesia and have the cities look like english castles, it really ruins the historic feel of certain civs, thus why in CivIV the ethnic citystyles mod was so popular so everybody wasn't living in tudor houses and new york style skyscrapers.

Again, this is the third time I've been told to wait for the next patch about this exact problem. Actually, the first two times I was told it would be fixed in the "next patch." This time, they were quite a bit more vague with words like "potentially" and "future patch."

I don't know what is going on, but I'm pretty angry.

I got word for word the exact same message.
I wish I knew how to just fix this myself.

I've been messing around in the game files, and found that the problem has to do with some connection with the artstyles, not with the civs, as I tried displaying middle eastern art styles for asian civs and found that it made them display european buildings.
